GeoScience.net Publishes 28,667 Abstracts on Discovery of New Biological Species

The recently republished Biology, Geography and Health Online Magazine GeoScience.net has published 28,667 new summaries on the discovery of new biological species on earth. As a newly established publisher of information on the basic and applied natural sciences, GeoScience.net covers such discoveries from the year 1865 until now.

The total number of non-bacterial and non-archaeal species on earth has been estimated at 8.7 million. Species can, however, be classified according to a "typological species" scheme, an "evolutionary species" scheme, and a "phylogenetic (cladistic) species" scheme. The Biology, Geography and Health Research Chapter 374 presents a large number of descriptions of new biological species in the genus Hylesinus Fabricius, in the spiny orb-weaver spider genus Micrathena Araneae, in the fern flora of Cuba, and of Asiasarum from Korea, Pilea from the Dominican Republic, Solidago from Kentucky, Didymium from Brazil, Endocalyx deuteromycotina from Japan, Physarum myxomycetes from Switzerland, and of the lichen genus Gyalidea from Western Europe.
